Restaurants open Easter Weekend & ANZAC Day

Due to the law permitting business trading hours over Easter and ANZAC Day, many of your favourite restaurants and bars around New Zealand will be closing up shop on these public holidays.

But if you’re keen on dining out, we’ve found a number of restaurants who will be open for Easter weekend and on ANZAC Day in 2013. Please note opening hours may vary from their usual times and surcharge will most likely apply unless stated otherwise.

Auckland

SkyCity restaurants, central Auckland

The nice people at SkyCity Auckland have ensured us that all of their restaurants will remain open at Easter and most of them will open on ANZAC Day, although some will have revised hours (see below). As always, there will be no holiday surcharges imposed on diners.

Bolliwood will remain open over Easter and on ANZAC Day – with no holiday surcharge to boot. Check out its tempting $10 lunch special, available every day of the week.
